Our terrible healthcare (which can be attributed to ALPA finally coming on property) was her project. Cabin cleaning is her big pet peeve. Poor work relations between the pilots/flight attendants (and even LSC office staff) and upper management can be directly attributed to her attitude towards employees.
Seems like a terrible choice for someone to "run the operation." I guess we can look forward to even more days of no pre-cancellations and 9 hour delays during a blizzard that takes days to recover from while everyone else precancels and recovers in less than a day.

If you are able to persuade someone your idea will cost less and work better you do well. Think outside the box with a non-operational idea and you are promoted. Meanwhile the actual operation continues to suffer since none of the decisions that need to made are made.
Jetblue will never recover its operational integrity until full scale management is changed.

Boarding here is like trying to have a cup of coffee while you wade in a tsunami dodging debris while trying not to spill your coffee.
In the end Jetblue is printing money.....
